Buying at auction has become very easy over the last few years with the progression of live Internet bidding. Although it is great to come to the auction room, handle the lots and take part in the process of bidding live and battling with other bidders to buy the next item for your collection, we know it is not always easy to attend due to work or distance issues.

C&T Auctioneers and Valuers, use the leading internet auction bidding platform in the UK, www.the-saleroom.com

For those who still want to come to the auction room, we do cater for you. Our viewing is open from 09:00 am on the morning of the auction, and you can view throughout the length of the auction. We know many of you have traveled some distance, so we do provide complimentary Tea and Coffee.

To bid live in the auction room, you will have to register with us on the day, you will be given a paddle number, this number must be given to the auctioneer if you are successful in purchasing a lot(s). You can also leave an absentee bid with C&T Auctioneers and Valuers, the auctioneer will then bid on your behalf, up to the maximum bid instructed. We do request all absentee bids to be left at least 24 hours prior to the auction. We cannot be held responsible for any mistakes made due to human or technical errors. If two identical bids are left one one item, the first bid entered will be the successful bid.
